Got similar here. Friends for 20 years, but now we work together, voluntarily. I still really like her. When politics comes up, I mildly say let's put that aside. Seems to work. I want to demonstrate that we Democrats are interested in working together in future, so building trust is a good thing when this nightmare is over. We remain respectful and good friends.

Horses and trail rides can create dangerous situations and "relying on G-d" or politicians is not helpful!
